With the greatest respect to Troy, isn't that because he's a great superbike rider, but not right up there with the best of the GP riders? How many superbike riders succesfully make the switch to GP? OK, Haga, Xaus and Hodgson all went to second rate outfits perhaps, but Edwards and Bayliss have both ridden front line bikes, but not performed as well as their GP-nurtured team-mates.
